BHHS Families,
Scheduling season is upon us, and our high school team has started meeting with groups of students to aid in selecting courses for the next academic year. This course selection process is of utmost importance as it will dictate which courses will run next school year and which courses your student will be able to take. This is also your student’s opportunity to build a schedule that will serve their academic needs and put them on a pathway to success, not only during their time in high school, but also for what comes after graduation.
Our MS and HS faculty have already input course recommendations into Infinite Campus for each student for their core courses for next year. All students have seen a scheduling presentation which outlines the scheduling process and how to select their courses. We are asking students to complete the paper scheduling sheet as well as the online scheduling piece in Infinite Campus.
There will be a high school scheduling night for parents on 1/17 at 6:00pm in the High School Auditorium. This event is primarily for rising 9th grade students and parents, but everyone is welcome to attend.
We ask that all 10-12th grade student scheduling sheets be signed by a parent and returned by 1/23 so that we can meet with students to verify requests. 9th grade student scheduling sheets are due 2/9.
If you have any questions, please reach out to your student’s counselor. Ms. Amy Yusella (amyyus@bhasd.org) – Last Names A-L or Mr. Adam Beacker (adabea@bhasd.org) – Last Names M-Z
Sincerely,
Brandywine Heights High School Team

Good Afternoon Brandywine Heights High School Families,
On behalf of myself, Mr. Ostroski, and the faculty and staff here at Brandywine Heights High School, I want to wish you and your families a relaxing and restful Winter Break. Please be safe in your travels if you are doing so, and enjoy the time off. As we find ourselves nearing the halfway point of the year, we just want to say how proud we are of all of the accomplishments made by our students in their classrooms, as well as in our community. We are continually thankful for and appreciate the opportunity to work with our students and their families each and every day. We look forward to the rest of the year with our students and are excited about everything that 2023 will bring to the High School.
We hope that you have an enjoyable holiday season with your family and friends, and we will see you in the new year when we return on Tuesday, January 3rd.
